That is $36k in USD and $30k if someone was one of the first 1000, and for that price, I would take the GR Yaris in a second. For $36k, I would take it over the CTR, STI, Golf R, Focus RS, etc. for the weight. I get that it doesn't have the displacement of its rivals, but it is pretty trick, and it has a serious weight advantage at 2800lbs; the closest rival is the CTR at 300lbs heavier, and it doesn't have AWD. It is 600lbs lighter than the STI and Focus RS. I would have to assess the quality of the interior and other bits, but after seeing the full spec sheet, I have been converted. They really did a good job with this thing.
